MOTORDYNE ART Pipes - Review

Methodical4u · 07-21-2011, 05:59 PM

I see Ebay Y pipes mentioned.. I haven't looked, but is there a cheap H pipe or whatever it's called? I'm not used to this dual exhaust stuff... I came for I4s lol.

Will the pipes fit the new motor mounts for the GTM stage 2 SC?

daisuke149 · 07-22-2011, 09:15 AM

If the motor is physically moved in location and sams headers end up in the oem location it will. If the motor itself doesnt move, just the way it mounts it will work

Now if sam makes it so the oem tp location is moved, aka have to use his headers and Tp/hfc then it wont work. I dont think hed do that though

The moter is not moved the stage 2 touchs the mounts.

The ART pipes have the same envelope as the stock cats.
If stock cats are compatible with the stage 2, the ART pipes will also be compatible.

Hey Tony, I'm not sure if you've heard the GTHaus exhaust for the 370Z before but how do you think the ART pipes will affect the sound/power compared to ERZ HFCs? (What I currently have.) I'm thinking about buying these and selling my ERZs before I install them if it'll be less raspy.

Motordyne · 07-23-2011, 07:28 PM

The general effect of the ART pipes is to make the sound deeper with less drone and rasp than regular test pipes.
Relative to HFC's, HFC's generally sound dry'er and ricey. And power will be higher with ART pipes.

Received my new gaskets today. Thanks Tony!

Any updates Tony? (Fingers crossed that they ship this week)

Armonster · 07-25-2011, 09:27 PM

The sound of my ART pipes has definitely started to change. The hiss has changed to more of what I consider a "traditional" rasp, but it's much quieter than before. It also sounds like all of the sound is coming from the exhaust tips, whereas before the hissing sound was coming directly from the pipes themselves.

I'm interested to see how they'll sound when I hit stage 3 of the break-in process.

TonyBPD · 07-25-2011, 10:13 PM

Can't wait for mine !!

Footloose301 · 07-28-2011, 07:52 AM

Updates from anybody?

How is everyone liking the new Titanium Ceramic Coating? Any special noises or anything popping up?

daisuke149 · 07-28-2011, 04:26 PM

I will get videos and all that good stuff soon. but in the mean time. Its simple. If you want good power, without the rasp / loudness of TPs you gotta get these.

It livens up the sound a bit on the deep end, but isnt really much louder than with the oem cats. Its suprising to be honest just how tame this keeps the exhaust. So the FI should still sound like the FI, and the ARK just like the ARK etc. a tad louder (reall ynot much) but deeper as well.

AlphaSnacks · 07-28-2011, 04:39 PM

Exactly. My exhaust seems to have been fully broken in, not a single noise to be heard anymore.

Footloose301 · 07-28-2011, 04:52 PM

Excellent! I ordered mine two weeks ago so I hope they ship really soon. I have an appointment for a tune in two weeks so I hope they're here in time :-/
